Ann (Whitenack) is the most friendly & helpful Buckingham Greenery employee I’ve dealt with in many years (I’ve been here over 30!). She obviously loves her job & does it well. She goes beyond what I’ve seen in the past as would be considered normal. We can always count on her being here every other Tuesday to take care of our plants. Please let her know how appreciated she is in servicing the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission account. Thanks!”– Cathy S. Bowman, Commission Sec./FOIA Officer

…Want to pass on our appreciation at Rutherfoord for making our place look so pretty with beautiful plants. You have a wonderful, friendly employee, Ann Whitenack. She brings a lot of energy and does an awesome job! She was able to get a plant donated to go into a silent auction at an event at Center in the Square. All money raised went to the United Way of Roanoke. Thanks so much to Buckingham Greenery for its generous donation. We really appreciate it!!!“–Ann Dyer, AVP, Surety Acct. Mgr.
